said:
"The note of July S,' which Secretary
Hay undressed to the foreign power*. de
fining the policy of the United State* to
ward* China, wa* framed in language
that will be handed down in Hie nation *
history mm an immortal declaration. Our

be taught to remember and appreciate
the ability, patriot Unit and humanity cm
bract and In Ihosc word* long afier we have
paifd away. There ha* been more or
Its* speculation a* to the authorship of
ihat note. I am but doing Scco inry Hay
juiNice when 1 Mate that he deserve* en
tire credit for the forcible expreaaton of
the administration's view* on that sub
ject.''
"After the subject had been fully dis
cussed in cabinet. Secretary Hay was au
thorised to prepare the note to be sent to
ail of our representative* abroad for de
livery to the foreign power*, briefly, but
impreselvriy selling forth our policy to
wards Chino. Secretary Hay went to hi*
office In the depart mi nt of Mate and dic
tated the note to hi* confidential secre
tary. Mr. J. 11. Babcock. With the excep
tion of a few verbal cnangea made in the
revision the original shorthand note* in
Mr. Babcock's notebook are Identical with
(he official note, aa promulgated under the
seal of Ibe d,-part men t of stale.
•That note 1* regarded tnroughoue the
civilised world as a model r.ate paper,

being made to It Foreign nations refer
to It a* frequently as do tho officials of
the United States."
Where l nlteit State* Stand.
In discussing the Chinese situation with
a group of newspaper men to-day. Acting
Secretary of State Hill called attention
to a mistaken Impression prevailing in
the minds of many persons concerning the

with ltussla'a pro|Kisltlon. His remark*
were suggested by numerous Inquiries

Stales occuplw the position of buying

international troop* from Pekin pending
negotiations for peace.

New York. Sept. The American hos
pital ship Maine arrived In Chinese waters
on Saturday. Aug. IS,. The Idea of a hos
pital ship originated with an American
lady, the wife of an American long resi
dent in South A fries.
This ship, generously loaned by the At

more. equipped and maintained at the cost
of Americans, and In charge of American
doctors, started on an errand of mercy In
December last for Cape Town, lo give aid

mentary to the government relief ships,
she was tilled oul with ninny cum fori s
and luxuries such a* cannot tie demanded
In tubes of stress from an overtaxed war
office.
11l the harbor* of Cap* Town and Dur
ban the Maine received both the British
and Die Boer wounded, and returned in
April to Southampton. England, with a
full complement of Invalided British sol
dier*. The number of patients received on

On thl*. her second return
July, I wa* one of those who sailed'nut
from Southampton to welcome her. For
me. It was the flist and the nearest ap
proach to the horrors of war, and I found
them, even In thl* their second stage, wad
and grim A* our boat approached the
Incoming Maine—this moving hospital,
larger In It* nttmlwr of beds than most
of the large hospital* of New York—wo
saw her side* and decks crowded wtth

there a cap a Gbngnry. or n fatigue

We hoarded th- 1 Maine, and during Ihe
two hours before we reached the dock at
Southampton there was ample opportunity
to examine her.
The patients, below deck as well as
above, were In *xce!lent spirits, despite
their disabltltb *. nnd otie and all seemed
grateful for what they termed their good
luck tn having ben convinced to the
"Yanke ship" At Madeira a few newspa

race-point of view of ibe interest and the

Aa we approached Bout Hampton the
Maine received a hearty welcome from

was scribbling a home message
It had been Ihe Intention of the I-ondon
Executive t'ommlttee of the Maine—all of
whom are women of American birth,
whore energy, efficiency, and devotlifi are
deserving of home recognition—again lo
send her back to South Africa. But the
crisis in China had become so acute, the
provision for many sick and wounded of
the allied force* so urgent, with no hos
pital-ship aa yet under wuy, that the com
mittee decided that the need for thetr ship
wa* now greater kt the far Bast than In
the far South. A prut weal to this effect
met with cordial approval a* the British
War office, and on July 12 the Maine set
sail for Chinese water*. She was reported
on Aug. 23 a* having arrived at Hong
Kong, on her way to her northern sta
tion to receive the wounded.
Directly after the departure of the Maine
the committee notified Ihe Unites! (Hates

all possible old tn our sick and wounded
countrymen
The American ambassadors at the

for China, and asked so notify the gov

A singular case Involving the rights of
a holder of a half-fare unlimited ticket
developed recently on the Santa Fe line.
It was on an casthound train from Ban
'
lectlng tickets, was given the return por
tion of a half-fare or child's excursion
ticket from Kansas City lo Son Francis
co. The holder of llw ticket was a young
man about S years of age. The conductor
looked at him. smiled and asked:
“You don’t expect to ride on thl* ticket,
do you?"
“Why not? It I* on unlimited tick eg
and I bought It In Kansas City eleven
years ago."
The conductor examined It more care
fury and found that Is bore the stamp
of the H ints Fe office at Kansas City and
was dated April If. !W. It was, more
over, as the youn man had said, an un
limited ticket.
“I don't doubt what you say about buy
ing It." the conductor said, “but you
were a kid then ami now you're a man.
I can't let a man ride on a child’s ticket.
You must put up the other half In cash
or get off the train.”
“But let me explain My father put up
nearly 3109 for that ticker eleven year*
ago and your company baa hud the use
of Fo of It for all that time without
rendering any service lo him or me for
whom he bought It. If I have to pay th
extra half fare, am I entitled lo a credit
In the shape of Interest on that tan for
eleven yeara.
“I'm not cracking those kind of nuts,”
the conductor replied, smiling. "You're a
men and you have got to have a man's
ticket or pay full fare.”
"Well. I will pay Ihe extra half fare,
but I would like to have something to
show for It.”
"All right; I’ll give you a receipt.”
The numey was paid and the receipt
given, tile name of Ihe young man Ixdng
Charles A. De Courey. He said he would
rweeent a claim against the Bunts Fe on
hi# return from an eastern trip.
Ixrcal pa*etiger men to whom the css#
wit pre ...><ted any the conductor took the
proper #l*ll*l an*l that the young man
ha* no legal or cqupahle claim against
the company. A railroad ticket la a
contract and both portlr* to It must com
ply with the term* end the condition*
provided on It. A child's ticket calls for
a child passenger and the moment the
holder ceases to comply with this condi
tion Ihe ticket Is not good for passage
so far as he Is concerned. As railroad
companies do not agree to pay Interest
when redeeming unused tickets, the ab
surdity of a claim of this kind la readily
seen. The prospect# are fhat Mr De
Courey will keep hi# reeelpt as an odd
souvenir of an odd railroad Journey.
